The world’s leading authority on how to apply systems thinking to governments and non-profits. Perhaps most well known for orchestrating a 35 percent improvement across Utah's $20B executive branch.
As #government agency and #nonprofit #leaders, we are not (or should not) be insulated from needing to produce a return on investment (#ROI) for our #projects and #initiatives. We should not have the attitude that #ROIthinking is for the #privatesector, and we don't need to worry about that here. Wrong-o. Big wrong-o. When we, as government or nonprofit leaders extract #taxes or accept donations from private citizens, we have a fiduciary responsibility to ensure we use those funds wisely, to maximize their impact. We should be able to tell the story of what #results we were able to produce with the funds they entrusted us with. A simple, highly effective way to tell that story is by showing the relationship between three, simple metrics: Quality (Q), Throughput (T), and Operating Expense (OE). In my workshops, and with our consulting clients, we break OE down into a few, extremely telling subcomponents, but let's just keep it at this 30,000-foot level, for now. In this short video clip from a 2015 keynote I gave at the #UTOpsconference, I show four examples that quickly tell the high-level story if the organization is getting better or worse. It's also a super way to compare very different agencies or organizations (or business divisions), apples-to-apples, because no matter how different the groups are, they all have Q, T, and OE. Great leaders have the tools in place to see these three metrics, in relationship to one another, at their fingertips, and they use that knowledge to guide the organization forward. And we as concerned citizens, legislators with agency oversight, and board members overseeing a nonprofit need to start asking these questions of our government and nonprofit leaders. - - - - #ceo, #founder, #president, #boardmember, #executivedirector, #deputydirector, #leadership, #management, #cio, #coo, #hr, #operations, #strategy, #operationalexcellence, #continuousimprovement, #processimprovement, #systemsthinking, #projectmanagement, #agile, #theoryofconstraints, #toc, #tocthinkingtools, #problemsolving, #productivity, #quality, #qualitycontrol, #humanservices, #data, #dataanalytics, #stopdecoratingthefish, #theseductiveseven, #seductiveseven, #timemanagement, #thefivequestions, #nextlevelbudgeting, #budgeting, #budgetdirector, #statebudgetdirector, #changemanagement

In a recent roundtable discussion of 12 nonprofit leaders, only 4 of them had even started a strategic plan. Of those 4, only 1 had a fully completed plan that was in process of being implemented. That was why I wanted to study the barriers to both creating AND implementing strategic plans - because without it, it can feel like you're playing whack-a-mole. Join Chris Wong, LMHC, CEC on June 8, when he facilitates a free webinar on how to overcome the barriers to strategic plan implementation. Based on the whitepaper published in April, join us as we partner with HRDQ to help you turn out vision into strategic action. There, Chris will talk about the common barriers such as: 1. Limited resources (both money and people) 2. Lack of engagement and buy-in 3. External pressures in a volatile and unpredictable world as well as HOW to overcome it. Save your spot in the free webinar on June 12th at 2pm EST here: https://lnkd.in/esC4w-aa Want to read the whole whitepaper? Get your copy here: https://lnkd.in/e6dnWERf Hope to see you there! #nonprofits #nonprofitleadership #executivedirectors #directors #strategicplanning #implementation #organizationalbarriers

Community Building | Effective Governance | Ethics | Nurturing Capacity | Compelling Storytelling | Servant Leadership |
The evolution of a board from an operational board to a governing board, which typically occurs with the hiring of staff, can be fascinating to watch and fraught to manage. The horror stories are many. This piece explains the challenges and the opportunity of the transition. This sort of evolution often requires new players, new board members. Often the board that got an organization to this point is not the same board to move it to the next stage. The authors raise an interesting point about board members’ psychology and feelings of violation when change occurs. “It's often because their identity and self-worth have become intertwined with their operational role.” #governance #nonnprofitboards #nonprofitleadership #nonprofitorganization
